An innovative light emitting diode (LED) technology lamp assists clinicians during minor and minimally invasive surgery, as well as countless other applications.Posted on 30 Apr 2013
The STARLED3 EVO PLUS with LED technology is a microprocessor-controlled device, operated through an innovative I-Sense control panel. The lamp’s light beam can be focused via a central handle with a simple clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, allowing both a focused illumination field as well as a uniform ambient one; the adjusting handle can be inserted and removed rapidly for effective sterilization via autoclave. The low power consumption (55 W) delivers a powerful 130,000 lux with a color-rendering index (CRI) of 95 and a color temperature of 4900 K, a combination that allows the reproduction of the exact chromatic scale of the colors of the human body. The cold light is free of infrared (IR) emissions.

Selective operation of any or all of its three reflectors can be adjusted separately according to different needs. The lamp is also proprietary ENDOLIGHT-UP system, which emits beams of light from the upper part of the lamp, allowing perfect visualization of the surgical field during video monitoring of the patient and during microscope-aided procedures. The shape of the lamp was designed to compensate for laminar flows and thus avoids obstructing airflow, reducing turbulent areas, and providing visual comfort. The design also takes into consideration sanitary requirements, and is made of smooth, scratch resistant material that makes cleaning quick, easy, and complete.
According to the needs in the operating room, the STARLED3 EVO PLUS can be supplied in different versions, such as on a trolley, with a wall or a ceiling mount, and in a single or double configuration, and it can support battery-based power supply for field use. The STARLED3 EVO PLUS is a product of ACEM Medical Company (Bologna, Italy).
